Garlic Popcorn
¼ cup butter + 8-10 large garlic cloves
Thinly slice garlic. On low heat, stir the garlic and butter with a small metal or wooden spoon. Be very attentive, as it burns easily. Brown until the garlic is a nice golden brown. Pop one popper of popcorn. Pour garlic mixture all over the bowl of hot popcorn. Optional: When hot, sprinkle liberally with Parmesan cheese for added goodness.
